At what stage of your pregnancy did you start telling family & friends about it?

Some say it is 8 months, just to be sure. Any thoughts?

i got the positive results on the 3pregnancy tests i told my hubby first and then after a few days we told everyone about it. having a future baby is really overwhelming and exciting at the sametime. though waiting for the 8month would be totally off. you dont have to tell them your pregnant since your bump would give it away., though some would maybe feel awkward or think you are not excited with the baby since you didnt share the beautiful news early on. best of luck

At eight months I would think everyone would probaly already know but for me..I would say 3 or 4 months would be a good time to start spreading the news. Is there something you want to share my friend?

I told friends after the 12 week scan. I told my mum and sister earlier, about 5 weeks I think, I know one lady that announced her pregnancy in March and her baby born in June. Hearing that late it seemed a quick pregnancy. The bump is obvious on a slim lady but not so on a fat lady sometimes. One neighbor saw he at about 25 weeks pregnancy and asked if I was expecting. I said yes.

My hubby was on the phone the minute we got the positive pregnancy results. Though if you've miscarried before it would be best to wait til the 3mo rule of thumb.
